Designers searching for a practical and financially scalable lighting experience have settled on a new LED technology that will feature in future highly efficient, modern building designs.
LED lights are highly energy efficient, using approximately 85 per cent less energy than halogen or incandescent lighting –resulting in significant savings for the power bills of both companies and consumers.
These lights also have a much longer lifespan than other types of lighting, with an estimated 25,000-50,000 hour estimated lifespan depending on the light used.
In recent years LEDs have significantly improved their energy efficiency and colour accuracy, thanks to the advancing technology used for commercial and private buildings.
The new WaveMax technology by CREE aims to work around building codes that limit the use of lighting power used by buildings through a unique streamline design.
A combination of glare reduction, hot spot elimination, and uniform light distribution means that WaveMax LED’s can create visually comfortable environments which will not set commercial environments behind financially.
Further customisation of the release and control of the light can enable LEDs to maintain high levels of efficacy in a range of colour temperatures.
CREE have also committed to providing Parking Structure Luminaire technology for parking garage applications, which utilises the bright, uniform light for enhanced safety and visibility.
CREE executive Vice President, Norbert Hiller, calls WaveMax technology their “most intelligent light yet”, saying it will enable the future of highly efficient, modern building designs to be realised, without breaking the budget.
The luminaries can deliver more than 80 percent savings and quick payback of less than two years with once-a-day usage compared to metal halide lighting.
WaveMax’s high-performance lighting experience delivers by distributing visually comfortable light with exceptional uniformity, high efficiency, precise control and design appeal.
The IG Series LED luminaires are sleek, low-profile and light-weight making them the perfect solution for top grade parking facilities. It delivers high efficiency with beautiful light characteristics and colour accuracy, while also maintaining colour consistency over the life of the product.
Together with Advanced Lighting Technologies, CREE are committed to providing the building design industry with solutions to common lighting problems.
